There are multiple, easy ways to help your scout sell popcorn, but first…please take a second to download the Trails-End app or sign in to their website to create a profile for your scout.

You will need to download the Trails End App to register for Show and Sells or if you’d like to do any Wagon Sales. When you register, it will likely ask you for the following information:

Council: Mecklenburg County
District: Etowah district
Unit: Pack 214
Unit Code: D656H

Once you have an account created, you can choose to show and sell times that work for you and your family. We have plenty of opportunities for your scout to reach their sales goal with Show and Sells. New sign-up slots will open as the dates get closer. We will keep you up to date on the openings via Cubby Notes.

There are lots of ways you can help your scout sell popcorn!!!

These include:

• Show & Sells  
• Social Media
• On-Line Sales
• Door Hangers
• Wagon Sales

---

OPTION ONE:

Sign up for a “show and sell” time.

Beginning August 30th and running through October…we will be hosting various “show and Sell” opportunities on Saturdays and Sundays.  You and your scout can sign up for a shift of two hours.  All of the money raised at the show and sell slots will be equally divided based on the number of shifts people claim.  We ask that you please initially sign up only for one shift at this point to give everyone in the pack an opportunity to participate.   The next round of shifts will open up on September 1st. We will send a follow-up email letting people know that it is OK to sign up.

Please note:

• A parent or guardian is required to be there with their scout.
• This is NOT a drop-off/pick-up event.
• Please have your scout dressed in their Class A Pack Uniform. (Blue/Tan button-down shirt, neckerchief, slide and hat)
• Signing up for at least 2 show and sells should meet your sales goal.

Show and Sell Shifts are Available Now for August 30-31 and September 6-7!!

OPTION TWO:

Use the “auto share” feature on the app and/or through social media.  

Once you have registered, you can set up your scout’s profile to include a photo, a quick message about them, their den, pack, and the fundraiser.  One of the major benefits of having the profile set up is that it makes it super easy for you to send an email/text to friends and family via their “auto share” feature. “Auto share” lets you send that prefab message out to people that you select from your contacts list on your phone.  I tried out this feature about a week ago by sending it out to about 15 friends and family, and it resulted in more than $200 of direct online sales, which covered the bulk of the popcorn sales goal in less than 5 minutes of activity on my par

OPTION THREE:

Use the app in-person to sell and have the popcorn delivered directly to them via the mail with an “online” sale. 

This option works well on the spot with coworkers, neighbors, friends, etc. where you do not have the actual product in hand!

OPTION FOUR:

Door hangers. 

Have your scout place door hangers on the homes within your neighborhood. These doorhangers allow you to put your scout’s name and their web ID # (listed on the dashboard of the Trails-End app/website)where they can go to the website and purchase directly from your scout’s page. 

OPTION FIVE:

Run a “wagon sale”!

You and your scout can check out up to $200 of popcorn to have products to sell on hand to your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, etc.

A wagon sale is where you actually have the physical products to sell and can log sales on the app.  Some have gone door to door and others have set up more of a “lemonade stand” type of popcorn stand within their neighborhoods.

**Please note – To keep an accurate inventory, all products or money needs to be turned in every 2 weeks. It may be re-checked out at that time as well.
